It’s funny the difference ‘in stadium’ versus the reality.
Check out that xG for the second half.
I spent half the time chewing my nails but, in reality, the team were in complete control.

Routine? Perfunctory?
No.
But the ‘job’ has been well and truly ‘done’.
We move on.

That second half…

Such an interesting night to digest. First half we looked like a team who had gone through the intensity of an NLD, but that was mythbusted in the second half as we went up a gear. Declan Rice was awesome in that second half which isn’t the first time that’s happened this season.

That’s a scoreline I didn’t think I’d see in the first half.
But that second half was so impressive.
It was an Arssnal side that said “nah, this is our castle, we own it”
And those players did.
Superb stuff.

Serious stuff.
The team just went up another gear and Bayern had no idea.
So many positives to take. Roll on Chelsea.

At 3-0 I was laughing.
At 3-1 I was worried.
Then Nick, who stands next to me in block five, sent me this.
Their goal was an anomaly- and I am thankful.

I see this and being the person I am, rather than take comfort in it, I merely think "I bet this effing weekend it'll be the 13%, won't it?"

That was a second half performance of a team in complete control. I know they hit the post at the end, but doesn’t count as a shot on target. How many games is that now without a shot on target??

Felt disjointed, opened up a few more times than we’re used to, but a heavily rotated team got the job done and you can’t complain too much when that happens 💪

This is mental. I come from work in London. I have a laptop. How on earth can I get my laptop and other stuff in an A4-sized bag?
My seat is massive, the bag goes under my seat, it doesn’t impact anyone.
@arsenalfc.bsky.social - this is poor. Sort it out. Please.
